Err help?
 

Umm I was trying to scrip something that counts how many letters in your text you say, there are. This is kinda simple but it only works 1 time. And when I added a timeout it oviously didn't help. It's werid. I probally overlooked something but here ya go:

NPC Code:

---

// NPC made by Rob Getashu

if (created) {

  this.ctxtcount = strlen(#v(#c));;

}

if (playerchats) {

  if (this.ctxtcount=<8&&this.ctxtcount>0) {

    message good;

  }

  if (this.ctxtcount>8) {

    message bad;

  }

}

---

Thanks

and you have two ;'s after the line of code Kai just questioned.. won't really harm the script I think, but its pointless none the less (you only need one) x.x

[edit]theres another big problem in it, but I think i'll let you figure that out yourself.. hint: you're using if (created) to check the length of the players chat text[/edit]

Yea, but Kai, when I took out the (#v) it didn't work anymore. But when I leave it in, the string always stays 1? Maybe I was using the wrong command to read the number of letters?

SO Should I use if (timeout) there?

Well, whatever the person chats, the script will make sure the text is 8 or below characters. Then it'll make the text a string and save it. And later print it out.

Well there it is. You've got it. Now tell us, what event happens when a player chats?
what function checks the length of the string?
what is the string for the players current chat text?
how do you save a string?
how do you print out a string?


And in that order.

Err first, This is just a beta test on what I can;t work out. And Couldn't you easily just read the damn script instead of making me explain it :\

he asked those questions to explain to you how to create your script correctly x.x

o.o

Indeed I did. :-)

All of the answers to those questions are in the script posted already. But things are a bit out of order in it. >.< Maybe he's just not used to the way graal does things.

Yea, I'm use to other Programing languages and I haven't scripted in Gscript for awhile, but I got it fixed see!

NPC Code:

---

// NPC made by Rob Getashu

if (created || playerenters) {

  timeout = 0.1;

}

if (timeout) {

  this.ctxtcount = strlen(#c);

  if (this.ctxtcount<=8) {

    message good #v(this.ctxtcount);

  }

  if (this.ctxtcount>8) {

    message bad;

  }

  timeout = 0.1;

}

---

Good job, Now forget the timeout loop and use the playerchats event. :-) Save the timeout loop for something that requires one.

Why did my post get deleted?
